Taken last Saturday at Moss Lane, the home of Altrincham FC as they began their National League North campaign against a well-supported Darlington 1883 side.
The game ended 2-2 with both sides having been in action twice more in the league since then. On Tuesday evening, Altrincham are back at home against AFC Fylde.
A visit to Alty offers a superb bar, part of the new community hub at the ground, for a pre-match drink. Supporters of the club are made to genuinely feel a valued part of it with chairman Grahame Rowley a highly-visible presence on matchdays (he was helping out behind the bar at half-time of the Darlington game).
The National League North is sure to be a fiercely-contested division in 2016/17 and a series of Greater Manchester derbies will give it the feel of a league two or three steps up the ladder.
Friday's match between FC United of Manchester and Stockport County, for example, attracted an attendance of 3,030 and FC United now go on to meet Salford City on Tuesday evening.
